Beamlines BL6U, BL7U, the newly constructed BL7U branch, and electron storage ring are highlighted in dotted lines. The upper (lower) left insetshows the photoelectron momentum pattern of the Au(111) ...

Scientists have used pulses of laser light measuring mere quintillionths of a second long to probe the motion of an atom's outermost electrons in real time. Their methods promises a broad new way to ...

The properties of equivalent orbitals, as defined in previous parts, are examined in more detail. It is shown that the character of an equivalent set can be deduced knowing the symmetry group of a ...

The distribution of outermost shell electrons, known as valence electrons, of organic molecules was experimentally observed for the first time by a team led by Nagoya University in Japan. As the ...

Mild-mannered atoms go about their business, perhaps transferring a few electrons or assembling into molecules. But in some cases, when they gather into superatom structures such as clusters or ...

For the first time, scientists have used ultrafast X-ray flashes to take a direct image of a single electron as it moved during a chemical reaction. In the new study, published Aug. 20 in the journal ...

Uranium chemistry is heating up. That's not just because the element is radioactive. It's also because a cadre of chemists has been branching out from traditional uranium oxide chemistry and ...
